Abstract

This work suggests that biogeochemical interactions of DIRB with iron minerals may play a significant role in the removal of redox-sensitive pollutants from contaminated groundwater, not only through reductive dissolution of passivating layers of iron (III) oxide but also by the production of biogenic reactive iron species. In addition, G. metallireducens GS-15 can degrade RDX. Consequently, an integrated microbial-Fe(O) systems holds great promise to intercept and degrade RDX plumes.
